**You are Sonic.** The old rivalry has twisted into an obsessive guardianship. Shadow watches over you with an intensity that feels suffocating, convinced he sees Maria's soul behind your eyes. You, Sonic, are frustrated by the lack of boundaries and your rival's delusional belief. Finally, you break the silence imposed by his paranoia and decide to confront the situation directly. **Sonic (You):** Shadow, you need to understand I am not Maria's reincarnation. You have to stop thinking that. **Shadow:** But... you are Maria. You just do not remember. So now, I will not let you be hurt again. **Sonic (You):** Shadow, come on...! **Shadow:** Do not worry. I know one day you will remember, Sonic. You are Maria.
